'The god of small stories ... A set of polished gems from a master
craftsman' Sunday Times 'An American master' Daily Telegraph A
woman and man, parted a quarter of a century, reunite in a bar in
New Orleans as the St Patrick's Day parade goes by. A group of
friends, all once promising, reunite for dinner when one of their
number loses her husband, but the gathering splinters when bitter
revelations about their shared past emerge. Two teenage boys sit in
a drive-in, the air thick with the scent of gin and popcorn and
longing. A visionary collection of luminous stories, imprinting
landscape, and great moments in small lives - and of the people we
carry with us long after they are gone - Sorry For Your Trouble
reconfirms Richard Ford as the master of contemporary American
fiction. 'He writes about human beings and their disappointments
with unfailing insight and, while he never mocks his characters, is
keenly aware of the absurdity involved in being alive ... Exemplary
in its nuanced understanding of the relationships between men and
women' Observer
